About Worrell Gallery

Gallery owner Mary Adams and her knowledgeable staff are pleased to welcome you. The gallery features work by emerging and established artists working in traditional media. The gallery focuses on painting and sculpture across a variety of subjects including western and southwestern landscapes.

In Colorado City, Texas, Jay Adams was a Boy Scout in Worrell’s Troop 22. Later, Jay signed a contract with Atlantic Records and became owner of Roadhouse Transportation. Worrell furthered his education with degrees in art. These two men have maintained a life-long friendship: hiking, camping, philosophizing, performing, and writing songs together.

The “Song to the Patrons” monumental sculpture resided on the corner of Washington and Palace Ave in Santa Fe for over 20 years. It was considered one of the most photographed pieces of art in Santa Fe. Thousands of visitors have touched and posed with the bronze.

Upon the sale of the sculpture to clients in Texas, arrangements were made to have the artist, Bill Worrell, present to oversee the installation of a new piece and “Song to the Patrons” being moved. At 6 am on a snowy morning in mid-January, a small group gathered and photos were taken to capture the event. When the film was developed a beautiful aura appeared in only one photo, the Shaman being hoisted upward with the crane.

Friends had the colors in the image examined and gave this explanation:

Purple: spirituality, uneasiness, change.

Blue: trust, peace, loyalty.

Green: rebirth, spring.

White: purity, completeness.

The perfect example of the how powerful and magical Worrell’s work has continued to keep the mystery of the Ancients alive.

We wanted to share this with all the collectors and patrons who have supported art and the artists over the years.
